Planning your Ideal Summer (Part 1)

You know I love a good debrief—whether it’s an end-of-quarter review or a summer recap. But this time, I had a thought: wouldn’t it be way more useful to share my summer takeaways before you plan yours? Instead of reflecting when it’s too late to make changes, let’s design a summer that truly works for you—right now.

In this episode, I’m sharing my biggest lessons from last summer—what made it feel amazing, what I’d tweak for next time, and the small but mighty things that made family life easier and more joyful. Whether you’ve already booked your big trips or still have flexibility, these insights will help you set up for a summer that fits your life, priorities, and energy.

Hit play to hear:
✔️ The key building blocks of a great summer—travel, logistics, and scheduling must-knows
✔️ The small changes that made the biggest difference for a smoother, more joyful season
✔️ Easy wins you can implement now to set yourself up for success
✔️ How to borrow, tweak, and customize these ideas for your best summer yet
